8 Digital Trends Shaping the Future of Media [VIDEO]

At the Mashable Media Summit last Friday, Pete Cashmore provided a broad overview of media's trajectory. He covered the rapidly advancing mobile industry, the relationship between tablet technology and the current media climate, and social interaction around TV and music.

Cashmore touched on Facebook's frictionless sharing capabilities. "Any action on the web can be automatically shared to your Facebook profile," he explained. The audience (and the #MediaSummit chatter) especially buzzed when Cashmore talked about flexible displays and bendable device screens, one of several items on his own personal wishlist.

Tune in to Cashmore's Media Summit speech for a comprehensive overview, and let us know which technology-fueled media changes you're looking forward to.
